Vocal senator turns attention to rail investment

INDEPENDENT Senator Derryn Hinch has backed investing in the missing link of the Murray Basin Rail Project, noting finishing the Portland line was a “piece of cake”.

The Justice Party leader has thrown his weight behind Glenelg Shire Council’s campaign to attract funding for the Portland-Maroona Rail Line, agreeing investment was critical to grow export markets and reduce truck movements to the Port of Portland.
